Lisp

The definition of Lisp

Lisp stands for list
processing and is the second oldest
computer language in the world.
Being developed in 1959, it lost the title to
FORTRAN by only a few months. It is
typically interpreted, but
compilers are available for some
platforms. Attempts were made to
standardize the language, and the standard version is
called "Common Lisp". There have also been efforts to
simplify the language, and the results of these efforts
is another language called Scheme.
Lisp is a fairly portable
language, but is not particularly fast. Today, Lisp is
most widely used with AIsoftware.
